Fallout New Vegas rushed out

Ok I said I'd wait in another thread but bought it anyway.Wish I hadn't. Same Fallout 3 engine with more tweaks that make it slide show on even a powerful PC. Seriously can't see why this was released in its current state.The first Set piece of the game with you defending a town, sees yourself and 4 defenders and 5 attackers. Unless you use Vats or stare at the ground I defy any PC to run that well enough to even think of aiming and Hitting anything. Fallout3 my pc can easily run it on maximum settings but they added Effects or animation to all characters that when you have more than 4 on screen you will slide show.Another boxed game that requires steam to install itWin7 64bitPhenom 2.6Nvidia GTX 4704 gig of Corsair ram10k spindle Raptor HDDIf you are planning on buying it, I would suggest waiting until its had a number of patches. As it is, it is still beta and should never have left the QA stage.

It runs fine on my system, which has a good graphics card in it but not as up to date as yours,My system isWindows XP Professional 32 Bit/Windows 7 64 Bit in a dual boot configi7 860 2.8NVIDIA GTX 2754 gig Corsair ram1TB Samsung Spinpoint F3 HDDAnd it works pretty well, I agree it should never have left the Quality Assurance phase as it's massively bugged but it's not a slideshow by any means! It could definitely run a lot better than it does but it is playable, they just need to pull there finger out the proverbial! And release the patch that fixes everything.I can tell you this though it runs far better on Windows XP than it does on Windows 7 with the latest NVIDIA drivers 260.99, that driver is installed on both windows yet Windows XP can and does run the game much better, it does jerk/stutter a lot more on Windows 7 than it does on Windows XP but I have no idea why because Fallout New Vegas doesn't use any more fancy graphics on Windows 7 nor does it use DirectX 11 as everything in the game is DirectX 9 only.So I would say do buy it but be aware there are a lot of bugs still need fixing, and they don't seem to be in a rush to do anything about it... Surprise surprise......

Re: Fallout New Vegas rushed out

I have no performance issues unless I turn it onto maximum quality settings, I go for, umm, high rather than ultra. It does slow down when lots of NPC's are on screen (near the end) but that's about it. Gameplay, like Fallout 3 only not as drab but not sure if it's really more than DLC rather than a "new" game, I'm doing another run through just exploring everything though, the placement of mobs can be an issue... trying to get to BOS safehouse and attacked by a deathclaw... not safe!Specs are average I guess...Intel E6500 @ 2.9Ghz6Gb DDR2 (afaik F3 won't use more than 4Gb?)1Gb GeForce 460GTX I think, yeah, 460GTXOverall, slightly disappointed in the game hopefully DLC and updates will iron out the rough spots but after Oblivion on the PS3 with gamestopping bugs that were never fixed (and never will be) I'm not holding my breath.

Re: Fallout New Vegas rushed out

Just found a bug. In the train tunnel by the Boomers if you try and go into the side entry you get transported back to the entrance via a "hole".Finished once now by not really following the main thread (except the ending) and have now gone back to a previously saved game to explore more.
